Electronic Apex Locaters are an endodontist's best friend.Electronic apex locater is a device used in endodontics treatment to help the dentist to determine a final accurate working length of the root canal space. An accurate length control in endodontics is one of the keys toward painless endodontics. Accurate working length determination prevent under-instrumentation that could leave tissues and debris in the apical segment and over-instrumentation which could cause patient discomfort, damage periapical tissue, or potentially cause an infection or cyst formation from the placement of the irritating materials beyond the apex.
